Professor played a role in defeat of
SSAINTURENT government
By M.J. STONESpecial to The Globe and Mail Friday, August 15,
2003 - Page R5
Nearly four decades after Louis
SSAINTURENT had been Prime Minister
of Canada, McGill professor James
MALLORY was surprised to discover
how influential he had been in the defeat of Mr.
SSAINTURENT's
Liberals in 1957. The revelation occurred in 1992 when the cabinet
papers of the
SSAINTURENT government, which had been sealed for
35 years, were made available to the public.
Unknown to Professor
MALLORY, a radio interview he gave in the
wake of the 1957 election had caught the Prime Minister's ear.
The Liberals had been reduced to 105 seats in the House, seven
fewer than the Conservatives. But the Grits were still in a position
to form a minority government with the aid of the 25 elected
members of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, later to
become the New Democratic Party.
Mr. SSAINTURENT found himself at a crossroads. While his party
was clearly in decline, the Conservatives were on the rise and
many questioned whether the Liberals still had a legal mandate
to govern. When Mr.
SSAINTURENT arrived in cabinet that morning,
Prof. MALLORY's radio interview was still ringing in his ears.
Prof. MALLORY, who died in Montreal on June 24, said in the interview
that if the Liberals continued to govern it would result in a
constitutional crisis. He believed it was the responsibility
of John DIEFENBAKER and the Conservatives to form a government.
The cabinet papers clearly reflect Prof.
MALLORY's influence
over the Prime Minister that morning. Mr.
SSAINTURENT demanded
a copy of the
MALLORY interview and after carefully studying
the radio transcripts, he handed the rule of government over
to the Tories.
Highly regarded as the foremost expert in Canadian legal and
federal structures, Prof.
MALLORY was often called on to advise
governments about constitutional procedures. McGill professor
Charles TAILOR/TAYLOR said another good example occurred in 1979.
"Joe CLARK's
Conservatives had just lost a parliamentary vote,"
Prof. TAILOR/TAYLOR recalled. "The governor-general, Ed
SCHREYER, telephoned
McGill's political science department, looking for Jim. It caused
something of a stir when he couldn't be found immediately.
SCHREYER
was frantic for
MALLORY's advice. The governor-general was unsure
how to proceed.
"Jim was eventually found and consulted. His advice was that
the Conservatives should call an election -- exactly what Joe
CLARK did."
The son of a county sheriff, James Russell
MALLORY was born on
February 5, 1916. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the
University of New Brunswick in 1937 and later studied law at
Edinburgh and Dalhousie universities.
He met his American-born wife, Frances
KELLER, in Scotland, and
the couple married in 1940. They had two sons: James and Charles.
Prof. MALLORY joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan
in 1941. Later, he taught at the University of Toronto and Brandon
College before moving to McGill in 1946.
A respected scholar and lawyer, Prof.
MALLORY was an "old-school"
professor who taught at McGill for 45 years. His reputation as
a constitutional expert was solidified in 1954 when he published
Social Credit and the Federal Power in Canada. The quintessential
text mapped out the constitutional parameters of federal/provincial
relations.
"James MALLORY was a discreet and modest man," McGill professor
Sam NOUMOFF recalled. "He had a profound understanding of morality
and he was incapable of self-promotion. He worked on university
committee after committee while holding many teaching responsibilities.
"Jim wasn't the sort of man who sought public approval, he just
did things because they were the right thing to do."
His son James, who lives in Britain, summed up his father's idealism:
"He had a bloody-minded stubbornness. It would manifest sometimes
in allowing discussions to go on and on. Then he would do exactly
what he intended to do in the first place. Somehow it never impaired
his reputation as a genuine democrat."
Prof. MALLORY was the founder of both the Canadian Studies program
at McGill and the Canadian Association of University Professors.
After retiring in 1982 he was appointed professor emeritus and
continued to teach for another 10 years. In 1964, he was elected
to the Royal Society of Canada and was later awarded the Queen's
Silver Jubilee Medal in 1977.
In 1995, McGill founded the James R. Mallory lecture series,
a one-day event that features a special guest who lectures about
Canadian issues. Past guests have included Bob
RAE,
PeterWHITE/WHYTE
and Phyllis
LAMBERT.
The organizers of the event say that this
year's lecture will focus on Prof.
MALLORY's legacy.
Prof. MALLORY died 11 weeks after the death of his wife on what
would have been their 63rd anniversary.

MacPHERSON,
HarveyAlexander
Died October 16th at Saint Mary's Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario.
Harvey celebrated his 90th birthday earlier this year at The
Village of Winston Park where he was a resident. Born on March
2, 1913 in Macton, Ontario to John and Elsie (née
REAMAN)
MacPHERSON,
Harvey was the eldest of three children. His brothers Ron and
Grant predeceased him. In the 1930's Harvey learned to fly, and
after a stint of bush pilot work in northern Ontario with Algoma
Airways, became the chief flying instructor with the Kitchener
Waterloo Airport. When war broke out, the Kitchener Waterloo
Airport was contracted to open a flight training school in Goderich
for the Empire Flight Training Program. In 1940, Harvey went
to Goderich as Chief Flying Instructor and trained hundreds of
pilots for the Commonwealth. Before leaving, Harvey married Elizabeth
Jean Gartshore
LAING, the daughter of Reverend A.A. and Marion
LAING.
Harvey met Elizabeth when her father was the minister at Linwood
United Church where he attended. During the war, Harvey joined
the Royal Canadian Air Force. At war's end he took a job with
Dominion Rubber (now Uniroyal) in Kitchener. In 1958, Harvey
took over the operation of Caya Fabrics Ltd. and later became
its sole owner. He managed the business until the early 1990's
when he retired. Harvey, Elizabeth (Betty) and their family were
active members of Trinity United Church in Kitchener for many
years. Betty passed away in 1975 after a long battle with Amyotrophic
LateralSclerosis.Harvey is survived by his children; Doug

Virtuoso possessed 'nerves of steel'
Ontario trumpeter and music professor renowned for his recordings
and his mentoring
By Sol CHROMFriday,January 3, 2003, Page R11
He could make his trumpet sing like an angel, but he was not
above taking a hacksaw to it. When Erik
SCHULTZ died of cancer
last month at the age of 50, Canadian music lost a virtuoso player,
a teacher and mentor, a prolific recording and performing artist,
and a man renowned among colleagues as a consummate professional.
A member of the music faculty at the University of Western Ontario,
Prof. SCHULTZ also made several concert tours of Europe and founded
an independent recording label for Canadian musicians. He held
positions with Canadian orchestras in Calgary, Hamilton, London,
Ontario, Toronto, and Windsor, Ontario He also established an
international reputation with an extensive repertoire of recordings
of his own, specializing in music of the Baroque period.
Prof. SCHULTZ's musicianship and professionalism were noted by
numerous colleagues, both in academia and in the performing arts.
CanadianBroadcastingCorporation broadcaster Keith
HORNER, who
worked on several recordings and radio programs with him, recalled
his "bright, clear, ringing tone." Mr.
HORNER praised Prof.
SCHULTZ
for his expertise with the piccolo trumpet, which he described
as a very difficult instrument to master.
"It requires nerves of steel," he said. "With Erik, you didn't
hear the work in it. He made it sound effortless -- and that
was all smoke and mirrors, because it takes a great deal of physical
effort."
Prof. SCHULTZ may have been known best for a series of albums
he recorded with organist Jan
OVERDUIN.
The recordings were made
in Kitchener, Ontario, and
in Germany, and were issued both on
vinyl and on compact disc. The two musicians first teamed up
in Europe, where they were both touring in the mid-1980s, setting
the stage for a collaboration that lasted until Prof.
SCHULTZ's
death.
In an interview from Waterloo, Ontario, Prof.
OVERDUIN recalled
his colleague as an enthusiastic participant in all kinds of
musical events, both amateur and professional. "He would just
transform the whole experience," Prof.
OVERDUIN said. "There
were times when I just stood in awe -- he'd be communicating
with the audience on a level that was just beyond us."
Prof. OVERDUIN also cited his friend's commitment to musicianship,
often displayed under rather trying circumstances. On one European
tour, a delayed flight to Portugal saw them arrive in Lisbon
with very little time to prepare for a concert. The difficulty
was heightened by the fact that both musicians had gotten quite
sick and had to find a doctor in Lisbon who could prescribe antibiotics.
And many performances in Europe, Prof.
OVERDUIN said, were staged
in old churches wherein the temperature or tuning of the organ
posed their own special challenges. Since the organs couldn't
be moved or modified, Prof.
SCHULTZ would have to make adjustments
to the pitch of his trumpet. Frequently this would require him
to carry extra mouthpieces or lengths of tubing, but even that
wasn't always enough.
"One day he had to get a hacksaw and physically saw out a piece
of the trumpet," Prof.
OVERDUIN recalled. "These were historic
organs -- I would have a wonderful time, but it could be difficult
too. [Sometimes] they would have weird historical temperaments,
but he would adjust immediately."
Prof. SCHULTZ's commitment to music extended beyond his own career,
however. In 1993, he and his father started
IBSRecordings, a
label for independent Canadian artists, eventually releasing
more than three dozen titles. Flutist Fiona
WILKINSON, one of
Prof. SCHULTZ's colleagues at University of Western Ontario,
recorded for the label as a member of the Aeolian Winds, and
praised him for his generosity. Having established his own international
recording career with the German label
EBS, she said, he used
IBS to support and nurture the initial careers of Canadian musicians.
"He would interview and audition artists and take on projects
that he felt deserved to be known."
"He positioned it as a discovery label," Mr.
HORNER said. "He
was ambitious -- he was looking for a recording studio so that
he could have some control over sound quality."
Prof. WILKINSON also praised Prof.
SCHULTZ for his collegiality.
He raised the bar for the people he worked with, she said, acting
as a role model for students and colleagues. "He had incredibly
high standards. Everything he touched had to meet them."
But Prof. WILKINSON also remembered Prof.
SCHULTZ for his sense
of humour, and the real-world experience he brought to his teaching
and academic work. "He knew what it was like to be 'out there,'
" she said, "and he brought that back to the students."
Even with his illness, Prof.
SCHULTZ never lost his enthusiasm
for performing.
"He lost his voice, and couldn't talk on the phone, but he could
still play," Prof.
OVERDUIN recalled, noting that Prof.
SCHULTZ
still played at convocations last June. "It hurts me to think
we'll never play again."
Erik SCHULTZ leaves his wife
Kelly, his children Daniel, David
and Nicole, and two sisters.
Erik SCHULTZ, musician and teacher; born in Hamilton, Ontario,
August 29, 1952; died in London, Ontario, December 1, 2002.

Artist and portraitist refused to compromise
Works in his trademark use of colour hang in the Art Gallery
of Ontario, Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and in private collections
By Carol COOPERSpecial to The Globe and Mail Thursday, September
4, 2003 - Page R9
When the director of the University of Toronto's Hart House Gallery
needed a portrait of Hart House warden Dr. Jean
LENGELLÉ, she
called artist Gerald
SCOTT.
"In this case, Gerry was a perfect fit for Jean, because Jean
wanted something that was not staid and traditional, which is
certainly Gerry," said the director, Judi
SCHWARTZ.
"He [Dr. LENGELLÉ] liked the patterning approach that Gerry took,
and the two of them got along very well."
Mr. SCOTT painted the 1977
LENGELLÉ portrait and countless others
in the manner of his friend and mentor, Group of Seven artist Fred
VARLEY.
"Gerry placed colours together that you wouldn't think of, and
when you stand back from the painting, you get the effect of
the work, and when you get closer to it, you start to notice
the colours," Ms.
SCHWARTZ said of the
LENGELLÉ portrait.
One of the foremost Canadian portrait painters, whose works hung
in the inaugural exhibition of Toronto's prominent Greenwich
Gallery along with those of Michael Snow, Graham Coughtry and
William Ronald and are found in the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto's
MountSinaiHospital and numerous private collections, Mr.
SCOTT
died of cancer at the age of 76. Along with Dr.
LENGELLÉ,
Mr.SCOTT's subjects included a Bermudan prime minister and a Baroness
Rothschild. One of six children, whose father worked as a building
engineer and car salesman, Gerald William
SCOTT was born in Saint
John. Although his birth certificate reads September 30, 1926,
Mr. SCOTT always said it was wrong and he was born in 1925. To
help support his family during the Depression, Mr.
SCOTT danced
on the city's docks, missing school to do so. After service in
the Canadian army during the Second World War, he returned to
Toronto where his family had settled.
There he met and married the Italian countess Josephine Maria
INVIDIATTA. An
English teacher who recognized her husband's gifts,
she taught Mr.
SCOTT to read. Thereafter, he read incessantly,
devouring all types of material. Countess
INVIDIATTA also encouraged
Mr. SCOTT to attend the Ontario College of Art, now named the
Ontario College of Art and Design.
Graduating from the college in 1949, Mr.
SCOTT won the Reeves
Award for all-round technical proficiency in drawing and painting.
After a short career in advertising and turning down an opportunity
to do a cover for Time magazine, he focused on fine art.
Mr. SCOTT taught at his alma mater part-time from 1952 to 1958
and full-time for a period beginning in 1963. And he participated
in shows at both The Roberts Gallery and The Greenwich Gallery,
later renamed The Isaacs Gallery.
While other artistic styles, such as abstract expressionism came
and went, Mr.
SCOTT continued with portraiture. "He didn't want
to compromise his style," said his son Paul
SCOTT. "He didn't
follow trends."
Lacking the time to develop a body of work for a show, and with
a self-effacing temperament which disliked the gallery scene,
by the mid-eighties Mr.
SCOTT no longer exhibited his work, sticking
to commissions and teaching, and writing plays and poetry.
Teaching took up much of Mr.
SCOTT's time, and he was known as
a good one. For 25 years, he taught at the Three Schools of Art
and later at the Forest Hill Art Club, both in Toronto.
"He was an inspirational teacher," said Michael
GERRY, a student
of Mr. SCOTT for six years and now an instructor at Central Technical
High School in Toronto.
"He was one of the few people around who understands the vocabulary.
He really knew his lessons. Not only was he skillful, he was
thoughtful, unusually thoughtful. Colour and temperature were
his specialty."
Said his friend and fellow artist Telford
FENTON, "He had wonderful
use of colour. It spoke to you."
A deliberate, patient and methodical instructor, popular with
Rosedale matrons, Mr.
SCOTT taught his students to observe colour.
"He could see colour everywhere," said Joan
CONOVER, who served
as a portrait model for Mr.
SCOTT. 'They're [the colours] there,
Joanie,' he would say to me. 'All you have to do is stop looking.
Close your eyes and then open them, very quickly. Close them,
open them again, and you'll get a brief glimpse [of the colours].'"
Mr. SCOTT also demonstrated painting for his students. "Most
teachers would not demonstrate," said another
SCOTT student Roger
BABCOCK. "
His demonstrations were like a Polaroid picture. They
would form before your eyes."
When students complained of lack of subjects, Mr.
SCOTT told
them how he stayed up nights painting works of his hand.
As he taught, Mr.
SCOTT discussed the Bible, religion or politics.
But he would not discuss his war experiences, according to Ms.
CONOVER. "It made his stomach hurt," she said.
Mr. SCOTT used his right thumb for certain strokes, and was highly
critical of his work, only signing it with persuasion.
GoodFriends since the fifties with Mr.
FENTON, the pair was
known as the Laurel and Hardy of the art world.
Once, they sold the same painting to three different clients,
eventually making good to all three. Another time while sailing,
Mr. SCOTT's boat crashed into the dock of the Royal Canadian
YachtClub.Always charming Mr.
SCOTT ended up in the club's
bar, along with those of his party, treated to a round of drinks.
Mr. SCOTT continued working until he suffered a heart attack
three years ago.
He died on July 13 and leaves his partner Joyce, two ex-wives,
children Paul, Sarah, Hannah, Rebecca, Aaron, Amelia Jordan,
Jarod and Dana, and five grandchildren. His first wife, Josephine,
and a son, Simon, predeceased him.

Shock, sadness over
ASPER
Former movie ticket taker rose to prominence as one of Canada's
biggest media moguls
By Richard
BLACKWELL Media Reporter Wednesday, October 8, 2003
- Page B1
Canada's business, media and political elite expressed shock
and sadness at the death of Izzy
ASPER, the colourful Winnipeg
media mogul who died yesterday at the age of 71.
Mr. ASPER built CanWest Global Communications Corp. into a national
television and newspaper powerhouse, and more recently spent
some of his fortune on charitable and philanthropic causes.
Israel ASPER, known to everyone as Izzy, was admitted to St.
Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg at 9: 30 yesterday morning, and
died soon after, surrounded by his wife and children.
CanWest spokesman Geoffrey
ELLIOT/ELLIOTT said he had no information
on the cause of Mr.
ASPER's death, although it was "obviously
sudden."
The funeral is set for tomorrow.
Mr. ASPER smoked heavily for years and had a serious heart attack
at age 50.
A tax lawyer who for a time was leader of the Liberal Party in
Manitoba, Mr.
ASPER built CanWest Global from a single television
station in Winnipeg into its current status as one of Canada's
biggest media empires.
Colleagues and Friends praised him for his business successes
and community work.
Conrad BLACK, who sold Mr.
ASPER the Southam newspaper chain
in 2000 to cement CanWest's position as Canada's leading media
company, described him in an interview yesterday as "a charming
informal character [with] never a hint of self-importance despite
his great success." And that success was legendary, Lord
BLACK
said.
"The man started out taking tickets in a cinema in Minnedosa,
and he, as of this morning, was the premier figure in the Canadian
media. That's quite a career."
Lord BLACK noted that Mr.
ASPER "had a reputation, in some circles,
for being very litigious [but] I always found him a joy to deal
with."
"We never had any difficultly reaching an agreement, and you
never had to worry for an instant that the agreement would be
followed up by him to the letter. "
PrimeMinisterJeanCHRÉTIEN issued a statement in which he called
Mr. ASPER "a great personal friend and one of the finest and
most able individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing."
Ivan FECAN, president and chief executive officer of Bell Globemedia
and Chief Executive Officer of CTV Inc., described Mr.
ASPER
as "a great entrepreneur, a brilliant competitor, and a true
original."
OnexCorp. chief executive officer Gerald
SCHWARTZ, who was a
protégé of Mr.
ASPER's and helped found the CanWest empire, said
he "left a legacy of pride for his family, a television network
for all Canadians, and a business empire for his colleagues.
His leadership in the Canadian Jewish community is a loss that
will not easily be overcome."
Mr. ELLIOT/ELLIOTT, who has worked with Mr.
ASPER for the past four
years, described him as "a visionary, but at the same time he
was very human and very approachable."
Mr. ASPER's death raises questions about the future of CanWest
Global, the conglomerate that owns Southam newspapers, the National
Post, the Global television network, specialty television channels,
and broadcasting operations in New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.
While Mr. ASPER was chairman of CanWest, he had given up the
chief executive officer responsibilities to his son Leonard
ASPER
in 1999, and retired from day-to-day management responsibilities
earlier this year.
His main preoccupations were two charitable foundations, the
ASPERFoundation and the CanWest Global Foundation.
Still, Mr.
ASPER was seen as the driving force behind the company's
strategy, right up to the end.
Some people close to the company said yesterday that Mr.
ASPER
exercised so much strategic control, even in retirement, that
the company could be plunged into turmoil. Operations could be
restructured, and new partnerships and financings put in place.
CanWest's Mr.
ELLIOT/ELLIOTT said a succession plan has been in effect
for "quite some time," and there are unlikely to be any significant
changes in the strategy of the company because of Mr.
ASPER's
death.
"There's a strong depth of long-term management at CanWest at
the corporate level," he said.

Bureaucrat 'invaluable' to ministers
Analyst was a key negotiator in talks that led to the formation
of the World Trade Organization in 1995

Gerry SHANNON could have been a professional hockey player like
his father, but decided instead to play in a much bigger arena.
Mr. SHANNON went on to become a top career public servant who
helped to formulate the federal government's policies on international
trade. At one time, he held the No. 2 posting in the Canadian
embassy in Washington and was a key negotiator in the talks known
as the Uruguay Round, which led to the formation of the World
Trade Organization in 1995.
Mr. SHANNON, who died recently in Vancouver at the age of 67,
is remembered as a fair, tough and passionate trade-policy analyst
who was a trusted adviser to ministers in the successive cabinets
of Pierre TRUDEAU and Brian
MULRONEY in the 1980s.
"Gerry was a larger-than-life character," said Peter
SUTHERLAND,
a former director-general of the World Trade Organization. "He
played a crucial role in the conclusion of the Uruguay Round.
He had a belief in the multilateral system that he combined with
an intense Canadian patriotism. His personality was also a factor
in bringing peaceful resolution to difficult negotiations."
"He was a straightforward guy -- you always knew where you stood
with him," said Marc Lalonde, a former Liberal finance minister.
"He was a man with a very solid judgment. He was a good team
player in that regard, the kind of guy you would want to have
as a senior public servant."
Born in Ottawa in 1935, Mr.
SHANNON received an early lesson
from his father -- hockey player Jerry
SHANNON, who played for
the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins and other National Hockey
League teams -- on the necessity of appearing strong, no matter
what. Once, after a puck knocked out the boy's two front teeth,
his father shouted, "Get up, son, shake it off!" Young Gerry
did so and stayed in the game.
The same spirit of toughness also probably helped him cope with
the death of his mother when he was 10.
Despite an offer to try out for the Bruins, Mr.
SHANNON took
his father's advice and went to university. Graduating from Carleton
University's school of journalism, he worked as a reporter for
the Sudbury Star for several years before lifting his sights
once again. He wrote a foreign-service exam and was accepted
as a diplomat in 1963. "He realized that being a small-town reporter
was great and he enjoyed it, but he wanted to be involved in
the big world," said his wife, Anne Park
SHANNON.
His first posting was in Washington, where, despite any formal
training as an economist, he handled matters of trade and economic
policy. "He was good at pursuing Canadian interests with the
Americans.They liked him," Ms. Park
SHANNON said. "He was very
affable and very good at just getting to the essence of things."
He also served as Canada's senior foreign affairs representative
in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia, and as ambassador to Korea,
one of Canada's youngest ambassadors at the time.
In the mid-1970s, at the height of the Trudeau era, he became
director of commercial policy for the department of external
affairs. After several years, he returned to Washington as the
embassy's second-in-command at a time when Canada's national
energy program generated heated discussions.
Recalled to Ottawa about 1982, he became the assistant deputy
minister of finance for the Liberals, then deputy minister of
international trade for the Progressive Conservatives. In these
capacities, he advised Mr.
LALONDE and Tory ministers Michael
WILSON and Barbara
McDOUGALL.
"He was a very professional public servant, he had a sense of
professionalism, he had a very good mind, he was tough, and he
understood very well the role of the senior public servant, "
Ms. McDOUGALL said. "He never tried to be the minister and he
was a straight shooter, which many of us appreciated when we
realized that this was the exception and not the rule.
"I worked with a lot of great public servants, but he was certainly
right up at the top," she said.
Anne Marie
DOYLE, who worked extensively with Mr.
SHANNON in
various government departments, recalls that he would go out
on a limb for employees when he thought that they were in the
right, and he possessed "iron in his spine" that made his superiors
respect him as steadfast and trustworthy.
"He had this phenomenal gift -- the ability to take a very complex
problem, see to its core and express it in just two or three
very articulate sentences so that someone like a minister or
prime minister would have found him just invaluable," she said.
"They would have his complex briefing and he would say, 'Well,
Minister, what it boils down to is just this, ' and it would
be just brilliant."
Mr. SHANNON was "one of the giants of Canadian trade policy of
the '80s and '90s," said Bill
DYMOND, executive director of
the Centre for Trade Policy and Law at Carleton University. "The
politicians trusted him because he was blunt, honest and loyal
to the government."
Known for his enthusiasm and for being indefatigable on the job,
Mr. SHANNON performed an astonishing array of official duties
while in Geneva from 1989 to 1995. As Canada's chief negotiator
for the Uruguay Round, he developed a binding dispute-settlement
system that was hailed as a major breakthrough. He was Canada's
first ambassador to the World Trade Organization as he had been
to its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
As an occasional ambassador to the United Nations, he gave to
its committee on disarmament the "
SHANNON mandate," a significant
negotiating protocol still in use today.
Mr. SHANNON was known as a loyal defender of Canadian interests.
Soon after leaving government in 1995 to work as an international
trade policy consultant, he wrote an article for The Globe and
Mail on Canada's seemingly never-ending softwood-lumber dispute
with the United States.
"We always get roughed up in dealing alone with the Americans
on issues they deem to be critical to them," he observed. "They
simply have too many guns and they persevere until they win."
Mr. SHANNON enjoyed hiking, gardening, opera, travelling, dogs,
crossword puzzles and playing hockey.
He and his wife moved from Ottawa to Victoria about a year ago
with the intent of retiring there. He was sick only a few weeks
before he died on April 26.
He leaves his wife, Anne Park
SHANNON, and sons Michael and Steven
from a previous marriage. He also leaves a sister, Carol
SCHWARZ,
of Ottawa.

Stephen CSATARI

Son, brother, grand_son, avid reader, university student. Born
September 14, 1981, in Mississauga. Died April 6, 2002, in Herstmonceux,
Sussex, England, of a rare heart disorder, age 20.
The first thing most people noticed about Stephen was his height:
6 foot 8.
His rapid growth gave him a tendency to get tripped up by his
own feet, often resulting in fairly spectacular falls and a constant
awareness that door frames, light fixtures and, in one hilarious
instance, a cowbell suspended from a beam, did not accommodate
the free movement of someone of his stature.
His father, a manager at a computer consulting firm, and his
mother, a nurse, were often told about Stephen's ability to absorb
knowledge. His childhood babysitter clearly remembers him at
age 5, happily reading the newspaper and telling her all about
the day's big stories. Before he was 10 he'd gone through C.
S. Lewis's Narnia chronicles and
P. G. Wodehouse; he went on
to history, biographies and novels by Michael Ondaatje, Stephen
Fry and Kazuo Ishiguro.
His sister, Andrea, 22 months his junior, had little motivation
to speak as a young child; she merely had to point and grunt,
and Stephen would cheerfully communicate her desires to any adults
at hand. A fine mimic -- Stephen did John
CLEESE as Basil Fawlty
he had an impeccable sense of comic timing. He also used his
superior size to great advantage. He would sweep his girlfriend,
Avery, off her feet and hold her upside-down (despite her protests).
Grabbing Mum or Grandma for an unexpected polka around the kitchen
was another favourite tactic of domestic disruption.
Stephen met Avery in Grade 7; they started dating in high school.
At age 17, Stephen entered Queen's University to study history,
a life-long passion he shared with his father.
He took courses in the Second World War, British, military, Russian
and Chinese history, consistently placing at or near the top
of his classes. His professors encouraged him to become an academic
they told us his polite, understated way of sharing knowledge
also won him much respect.
In 2002, Stephen and Avery went to study at Queen's International
Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex, England, and enjoyed
field trips to historical sites in Britain, France and Belgium
(his fellow students nicknamed Stephen "tour guide" because of
his store of knowledge).
On a sunny spring day in the last week of term, he went for a
run along his favourite country lane, past hedgerows, an ancient
church, and grazing sheep. The exertion triggered a severe rhythm
disturbance of his heart, a rare hereditary problem of which
he was unaware. Stephen collapsed. A local landowner, Rieke
SCHWEITZER,
grandnephew of Albert
SCHWEITZER, found him and called the police.
Now that his family knows about what killed him -- arrythmogenic
right ventricular dysplasia -- we are being closely monitored.
In death, Stephen has been able to watch out for those he loved.
Stephen was intrigued by Churchill and Kennedy; he told Avery
that they had accomplished more by age 20 than he, and worried
that, if he were to die, no one would notice. Avery spoke of
this at the funeral, which was attended by hundreds of Friends,
family and teachers. They gave Stephen a standing ovation.
His potential will never be realized. But he is remembered for
his intelligence and wit, for his generosity and loving nature.
Mr. SCHWEITZER has placed a stone marker on the lane where Stephen
fell.
Avery is Stephen's girlfriend, Susan and Andrea his mother and
sister.
